any idea when Logos 4 will be updated to APA 5th edition?

Are there any significant differences in citation that would require this? I assume not. If so, (for curiosity) can you show us the two forms?

I will post all the examples they give here. The reason I am asking about this APA is up to edition 6 and the school I am attending is asking for 5th edition right now and saying they will switch to the 6th edition later. To be honest I never compared them I just assumed there would be some difference since they are putting out a new edition lol.

Reference
Citations in Text

It is of the utmost
importance to give credit to the authors whose work you are using. Any
material in your document that is derived from another source either by
direct quotation, paraphrase, or inspiration must be cited immediately.

Direct Reference

When appropriate, and when it can be done so smoothly, you may wish
to cite your sources directly in your text.

Example:

On page 276 of her study, Miele (1993) found that "The 'placebo
effect' . . . disappeared when behaviors were studied in this manner."

NOTE:
Whenever you wish to edit out a portion of a quote replace the edited
section with an ellipse (. . .)

Parenthetical Citations

A parenthetical citation must include (if not already given) the
first author's last name or one significant word from the title of the
source followed by a comma, and the date of publication. If you are
quoting something specific from the source, you must follow the date
of publication with another comma, and include the page where the material
is located.

Examples:

She stated, "The 'placebo effect' . . . disappeared when behaviors
were studied in this manner" (Miele, 1993, p. 276), but she did not
clarify which behaviors were studied.

NOTE:
When quoting another quote you must use single quotations ('') to mark
the beginning and end of the quoted quote.

Miele (1993) found that "the
'placebo effect,' which had been verified in previous studies, disappeared
when [only the first group's] behaviors were studied in this manner:
(p. 276).

NOTE:
Whenever you wish to include words in the middle of a quotation, which
did not originally appear there, put those words in [square brackets].

Notes on citing multiple
authors

For a work with two authors:
Cite both author's last names at every reference.
For a work with three,
four, or five authors:
Cite the all author's last names at first reference, thereafter only
cite the first author's last name followed by "et al."
For a work with six or
more authors: Cite only the last name of the first author followed
by "et al."

Punctuating your Citations

If your parenthetical citation
concludes a sentence, you should place the period after the parenthesis.
If you place the parenthetical
citation in the middle of the sentence, you need not follow it with
special punctuation, only that required to make the sentence grammatically
correct.
If you use a block quotation,
the period should come before the parenthetical.

Block Quotation

If the quotation that you are using is more than 40 words long,
you must use a block quotation. In a block quotation, you should not
use any quotations at all unless they are needed to indicate a quoted
quotation. To format a block quotation correctly you need to begin the
quotation on a separate line that is indented 10 spaces from the left
and right margin. The block quotation should have the same line spacing
as the rest of the document.

Example:

Miele (1993) found the following: The "placebo effect," which had
been verified in previous studies, disappeared when behaviors were
studied in this manner. Furthermore, the behaviors were never exhibited
again, even when real drugs were administered. Earlier studies (e.g.,
Abdullah, 1984; Fox, 1979) were clearly premature in attributing the
results to a placebo effect. (p. 276)

Looks identical to me. Even the examples are the same. In these style guides, often new editions provide clarification for new situations rather than major changes. For the sake of your course work, citations from Logos will probably work fine. If you have to purchase a style guide, make sure to get the one your institution recommends.
